Chapter 950: The Grand Steward Is Coming?
Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that the Yang family and the seed family of Tianbo Mansion are two strong people who respect heaven and man, if they don't leave with Chu Yi this time, once Chu Yi soars, then the army is afraid that the Yang family and the seed family will be respected.
If the Yang family and the seed family are still as loyal to the Great Song Dynasty as before, then it is nothing, at most, when he uses some imperial means, he will gradually take back the military power of the Yang family and the seed family.
It's just that the Yang family and the seed family are not so stupid, and if they really want to take back the military power, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
And now that the situation is so good, he doesn't have to worry about how to take back the military power in the army after Chu Yi leaves.
Even in Zhao Gou's opinion, the more henchmen and generals in the army who followed Chu Yi away, the better, because in that case, it would be easier for the imperial court and the royal family to take back their military power.
The day of Chu Yi's expedition has been set, that is, three days later, it seems that because Chu Yi is about to ascend, Zhao Gou, who has been pressed on his head by Chu Yi all along, suddenly relaxed, and couldn't help but be excited in his heart.
This time, in order to send Chu Yi on the expedition, Zhao Gou ordered the Ministry of Rites to make a charter early on, and made the ceremony as grand as possible to show his importance to Chu Yi.
The three days passed quickly, and it can be said that in the past three days, including Lin Chong, Lu Junyi and others, they have already made a decision.
In other words, among Chu Yi's henchmen, those who should make a decision have their own decisions at this time, after all, everyone knows that this time Chu Yi's expedition is an opportunity for them to stand in line.
If you hesitate at this time, you can only lose the qualification to follow Chu Yi in the end.
Under the bright sunshine, Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, rode the imperial horse and led the civil and military officials to personally go out of the palace to see Chu Yi off.
Looking at Chu Yi in military uniform, Zhao Gou felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he thought that he could only be suppressed by Chu Yi in this life, but what he didn't expect was that Chu Yi was about to soar.
Looking at Chu Yi at this moment, Zhao Gou was not only relaxed but also relaxed in his heart, and the feeling that the stone that seemed to be pressing on his body was removed all at once was too happy.
Fortunately, Zhao Gou knew what kind of occasion this was, so he tried his best to control his emotions, and said to Chu Yi with a bit of heaviness, "I wish the chief manager a smooth journey here, a victorious start, and return to the court as soon as possible." ”
Chu Yi nodded slightly, arched his hand at Zhao Gou and said, "In this way, I will borrow Your Majesty's auspicious words." ”
While speaking, Chu Yi's gaze swept over the generals behind him, his eyes froze, and he shouted in a deep voice, "The army is out!" ”
"The chief manager is mighty, and the chief manager is victorious!"
"The chief manager is mighty, and the chief manager is victorious!"
Tens of thousands of troops shouted in unison, and the sound shook in all directions, causing the faces of many onlookers around to change slightly, and even when Zhao Gou looked at the back of Chu Yi who led the army away, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a little strange look.
Li Gang, Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze and Hu Yanzhuo and others standing next to Zhao Gou had a somewhat complicated expression, as courtiers loyal to the court and loyal to Zhao Gou, these people were naturally quite jealous and disliked Chu Yi, the powerful existence of the world, but there was one thing they had to admit, that is, Chu Yi's strength was too strong, if Chu Yi did not take the initiative to withdraw, even if they had more thoughts, it would be absolutely impossible for them to assist Zhao Gou to truly grasp the power.
Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Li Gang whispered to Zhao Gou, "Your Majesty, the chief manager has left, and we should go back to the palace." ”
Zhao Gou came back to his senses, his face was filled with a little lightheartedness, and he smiled slightly, "What the Qing family said is to pass on my will and drive back to the palace!" ”
Saying that, Zhao Gou said to Li Gang and the others, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy in my heart, and today the secretaries will accompany me to drink in the palace." ”
As Zhao Gou's henchmen, how could these people not know Zhao Gou's thoughts, seeing Zhao Gou's uncontrollable joy, several people glanced at each other, such as Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
They really didn't know if Chu Yi's ascension and departure would be good or bad for the Great Song Dynasty.
Standing on the position of being loyal to Zhao Gou, they naturally wish that Chu Yi would leave early, but if these are put aside, it seems that the Great Song Dynasty can have today's prosperous situation entirely because of Chu Yi, if there is no Chu Yi, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty is still suffering from the annual attacks of Western Xia, Dajin and other countries at this time.
Not to mention that Zhao Goujun and his ministers drank happily in the palace, but said that Chu Yi led the army all the way to the Western Regions along the opened up avenue to the sky.
In order to strengthen his dominance over the lands he had conquered over the years, Chu Yi had really exerted the powerful labor force of the Heavenly and Human Powerhouses to the limit.
I'm afraid that only Chu Yi will use the strong men of heaven and man as coolies to repair the road.
But there is one thing that has to be admitted, that is, the strength of the strong man is too strong, and splitting mountains and rocks, building roads and bridges is nothing more than spending some energy and time for the strong man of heaven and man.
If this were someone else, there would definitely not be such a high prestige and courage to use the strong celestials as coolies, but there were many celestials under Chu Yi's command, and in a group of two or three celestials, it would take a few months to build a road to heaven that stretched for thousands of miles.
It was precisely with this road to heaven that ran through the north and south, and through the mountains and jungles to connect the pieces of land together, that the Great Song Dynasty was able to initially complete the domination of these occupied areas.
With the existence of these spacious and smooth avenues to heaven, it is not a problem for the carriage to run for hundreds of miles a day, and even if it is a rapid march, the cavalry rushes, as long as the horsepower can keep up, it is easy to travel thousands of miles a day.
Chu Yi didn't dare to guarantee whether the Great Song Dynasty would have the ability to rule the vast land now after he left, but Chu Yi was sure of one thing, that is, these avenues to heaven built by his own people would definitely make the territory that the Great Song Dynasty could rule several times on the basis of the former Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
In the final analysis, the extent of a country's rule depends on the question of national strength on the one hand, and the convenience of transportation on the other.
Just imagine, if a huge country with a radius of tens of thousands of miles has underdeveloped transportation and local rebellions break out, and it takes half a year or even longer for the counterinsurgency army sent by the country to arrive, I am afraid that when the counterinsurgency army arrives, the daylilies will be cold.
Walking on that flat avenue, such as Yang Wenguang and Seed Master Dao, who have been in Beijing and rarely leave Beijing, the existence of this avenue of heaven really brought them a great shock.
As a generation of famous generals, it is more difficult for them than anyone else to feel what kind of changes this Tongtian Avenue will bring to the Great Song Dynasty.
Brushing his beard, Yang Wenguang looked at Chu Yi's eyes full of admiration and said, "I have also heard Yang Zhi and Zaixing mention this Tongtian Avenue, but I have never personally felt the convenience of this Tongtian Avenue. ”
The seed master also praised and said, "There are a number of avenues to heaven, even if he is the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, the territory of my Central Plains Dynasty will also surpass the previous Han and Tang Dynasties, which will benefit countless descendants of my Han family, and the name of the chief manager will inevitably remain in history and be admired by future generations." ”
For Yang Wenguang and the praise of the seed master, Chu Yi just smiled slightly, his eyes swept over this piece of great mountains and rivers, and he sighed in his heart, "I only hope that after I leave, this piece of mountains and rivers can still be peaceful for thousands of years." ”
Hearing Chu Yi say this, as a general in the army, Gao Zhong laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this, as long as we kill all the enemies, are you afraid that there will be no peace for thousands of years?" ”
Everyone just glanced at Gao Chong, and did not comment on Gao Chong's words, if things are really as simple as Gao Chong said, then there is no such thing as the rise and fall of the dynasty and the replacement of the world.
Thanks to this road to heaven, even though it was thousands of miles away, it only took about a month for the army to reach the border of the Seljuk Dynasty.
Because the commander Yue Fei and other generals were recalled by Chu Yi to the Beijing Division, the army of more than 100,000 people seemed very calm these days, and it was also a loss that the Seljuk Dynasty on the opposite side was not ready to fight with the Great Song Dynasty.
After all, they had also fought with Yue Fei a few times, so they knew very well the strength of the Great Song side, and even if the commander wanted to fight, the Marshal of the Seljuk Dynasty, who was not ready, would not allow it to start a war easily.
However, the Seljuk Dynasty is now at its peak, and the army in the country is busy crusading everywhere.
It is precisely because of this that when the main forces of the Seljuk dynasty did not return, no one dared to start a war easily.
More than a month passed, and the war machine of the Seljuk Dynasty finally unified their opinions, and began to recruit troops and horses from all over the place, preparing to wipe out the troops and horses of Yue Fei's subordinates who provoked them in one fell swoop.
The speed at which hundreds of thousands of cavalry gathered was not slow, after all, for cavalry, it was obviously much faster than the infantry gathering.
Entrusted with an important task by Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, who was sitting in the army, looked at the military report from his subordinate sentinels, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of sadness.
In the big tent, the generals of the Yiying army gathered together, looking at Zhang Xian who was sitting on the first place, the generals were very bottomless in their hearts, in the past, Yue Fei was sitting there, everyone was full of confidence, and they never worried about anything.
But now that Yue Fei is not here, even if it is Zhang Xian, Yue Fei's right and left hand in Su Ri, everyone has no confidence.
With a light sigh, Zhang Xian put down the military newspaper in his hand, looked up at the generals and said, "Everyone, I'm afraid the Seljuk Turks are really going to do something to us this time." ”
One of the generals showed a little worry and said, "The marshal has not returned for a long time, and the Seljuk Turks are gathering troops and horses, I am afraid that it will not be long before we send troops, and we will fight or retreat......
Without Yue Fei, it is like having no backbone, everyone subconsciously looked at Zhang Xian who was sitting there, after all, Zhang Xian was selected by Yue Fei to take care of the family, at this time, everyone can only look at Zhang Xian's opinion first.
Under the gaze of a crowd, the pressure in Zhang Xian's heart can be imagined, and he took a deep breath and said, "In my opinion, if the Seljuk Turks really send troops, we can only avoid their edge first......
Everyone was not too surprised to hear Zhang Xian say this, and everyone present knew that this could be said to be the most correct choice for them when facing the Seljuk Turks.
You must know that Yue Fei went here and took away almost all the celestial powerhouses in the army, and the celestial and human powerhouses are like Dinghai Shenshen Needle in the army, if there is no celestial and human powerhouses in charge, once they encounter the celestial powerhouses rushing into battle, the possibility of being blown up in the military formation is too great.
Just when Zhang Xian and the others were worried, a figure fell from the sky and went straight into the army.
"Lieutenant Marshal!"
Only an exclamation could be heard from outside the tent, and the generals in the tent could clearly hear the exclamations and footsteps of the soldiers outside.
As the curtain of the big tent was lifted, a figure walked in, it was Lin Chong, the deputy marshal of the army.
Lin Chong is responsible for the military discipline of the army in the army, which can be said to be the most feared one of the generals in the army except for Yue Fei, coupled with the personal relationship between Lin Chong and the marshal Yue Fei before, it is conceivable that Lin Chong's status in the army can be imagined.
Seeing Lin Chong appear, Zhang Xian and other generals who were worried before suddenly brightened their eyes, and saw Zhang Xian suddenly get up and strode towards Lin Chong, with a little excitement on his face, he saluted Lin Chong and said, "Deputy Marshal, has Yue Shuai ever come back?" ”
Lin Chong's eyes swept over the tent, and he smiled slightly, "Oh, could it be that something happened?" ”
Gave up the position of commander to Lin Chong, and after Lin Chong sat down, Zhang Xian handed the military report to Lin Chong and said, "This is the news that our people have inquired about, and please take a look at the deputy marshal." ”
Lin Chong's eyes swept away, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he gently put down the letter, raised his head, and swept over the group of people with a pair of eyes full of essence, "What should I do, the feeling is that these Turks came to die by themselves." ”
Hearing Lin Chong say this, a general said excitedly, "What does the deputy marshal mean, Dashuai, they have already returned?" ”
Lin Chong smiled slightly and said, "Ben Shuai is just one step ahead, but with the general manager of their footsteps, it won't take long to arrive." ”
"The Grand Steward?"
The generals were stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then their eyes widened, and they looked at Lin Chong with disbelief, as if they wanted to determine whether Lin Chong had said something wrong.
There is really no one else in the name of this chief manager except Chu Yi, but hasn't the chief manager Chu Yi not left the land of the capital for several years.
Listening to Lin Chong's meaning now, it seems that Chu Yi is coming.
Zhang Xian took a deep breath and looked at Lin Chong, and said in a trembling voice, "Deputy Marshal, do you mean that the chief manager actually went out in person again after a few years?" ”
They have all followed Chu Yi's Quartet to fight, but Chu Yi has never left in Beijing over the years, so now that they suddenly heard the news of Chu Yi's expedition, it is normal that they can't react for a while.
Lin Chong nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this time, the chief manager personally went out to destroy the Seljuk Dynasty and the black-clothed Great Food for the sake of a war. ”
"Hahaha, it's really good, there is a big manager out of the horse, don't say it's the Seljuk Dynasty, even if you go north and add the Byzantine Empire, it's just a gesture."
A few days later, the Seljuk Dynasty had gathered almost a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, although it was still nearly half of the distance between all the soldiers and horses, but as the commander of the army
A few days later, the Seljuk Dynasty soldiers and horses have gathered almost a hundred thousand, although there is still a gap of nearly half from the assembly of all soldiers and horses, but a few days after being the commander of the army, the Seljuk Dynasty soldiers and horses have gathered almost a hundred thousand, although there is still a gap of nearly half from the assembly of all soldiers and horses, but as the commander of the army
